Team behind multi-million pound technology platform Docman, that held clinical documents for two-thirds of UK population – enter gambling market as operators bolster regulatory technology

Cybersecurity experts behind a multi-million pound British health technology firm have launched digital ID app Luciditi ahead of the gambling industry’s White Paper review.

Luciditi is a real-time identification platform, which uses photo facial matching, document proofing and liveness detection, alongside military-grade encryption to ensure the security of the increasing number of documents customers are being asked to give to operators.

The security app uses a concept yet to be seen in the betting and gaming industry in providing customers with a digital ID account, where all their personal data can be stored – away from operators. Players can then use the ID to verify themselves across multiple operators with real-time consent.

This will pave the way for simple identity verification within operator groups and amongst rival brands, which will help negate the risk of customers making multiple accounts to deposit more money – one of the examples cited against Entain, who were forced to pay a record £17million for compliance breaches.

Luciditi launch with clients including social pools betting app Premier Picks, who have integrated the app’s technology into their own platform to provide real-time identity verification.

The platform has been built over the past three-and-a-half years in-house by UK-based parent company Arissian, who believe the app would have cost several million pounds to create in research and development from scratch.

Luciditi is co-founded by Philip Young, Chief Technical Officer of Arissian. Young has entered the gambling industry for the first time after selling Docman to private equity. At one time, Docman held clinical documents for two thirds of the UK population.

Philip Young, creator of Luciditi and Chief Technical Officer of Arissian:

”As the recent catalogue of high-profile data breaches prove, large organisations aren’t necessarily the best equipped to keep your data safe, with the gambling industry being no exception.

“Operators haven’t upgraded their technology at the pace required both by the modern customer in terms of a speedy registration process and most importantly, to ensure the vast and growing cache of personal information now required to stay on file is kept as secure as possible.

“Luciditi adds a level of confidence which doesn’t currently exist in the market by using digital identity technology currently available in other sectors, bringing it to gambling operators of all sizes and finding a solution to the industry’s achilles’ heel.

“We are bringing our experience in the medical and healthcare sector – where speed, data security and customer trust is of the utmost importance – to gambling at a time when operators are going to have to invest significantly to meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations.”

The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, a leading content hub for iGaming projects, introduced a new game category to its Tournament Tool. Crash games can now be included in tournaments alongside live games and slots. Operators can now create mixed tournaments featuring all types of games or organise tournaments focusing on a single game type.

As more game categories join the Tournament Tool, developers introduce specific measures to accommodate their unique mechanics. For crash games, operators now have the option to add a delay in calculating the final leaderboard. This delay helps exclude rollback bets from the results, ensuring fair and accurate tournament standings.

Crash games continue to gain popularity due to their simplicity, speed, and the level of control they offer, which is often lacking in slots. These games consistently rank among the top popular titles.

SOFTSWISS has analysed and compared player preferences in its focus regions and identified regional trends. Crash games are more popular in Latin America than in Europe. In Q2 2024, Aviator, the most popular crash game, ranked in the top 5 games globally and in Latin America, while slots dominated the European market. The share of crash games in Latin America was 3.9% of all games in Q2, compared to less than 1% in Europe.

SOFTSWISS’ market research in South Africa indicates that fast-paced games that offer instant gratification attract local players. Crash games’ straightforward mechanics and quick results help increase their popularity.

“We have integrated crash games into tournaments, aligning with gamification and social interaction trends. Previously, crash games attracted users with their social elements. Now, any game can become social and even more engaging as players can compete in tournaments across different game categories. The combination of tournaments with crash games, live games, and slots is truly winning – it enhances player experience and boosts casino performance,” said Tatyana Kaminskaya, Head of SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator.

According to internal research, integrating the Tournament Tool results in an average 4.23% increase in player spending during tournaments, rising to 9.01% post-tournament (based on 36 tournaments by ten operators).

The SOFTSWISS team is ready to share its expertise in online casino games and more during the iGB Live! on 17–18 July, stand 12-F30.

WagerWire, a sports gaming marketplace technology company serving sportsbooks and fantasy operators, announced that buying and selling is now live in their app, available in the iOS and Google Play stores. This marks the first time that fantasy players can legally buy and sell daily fantasy Pick’em entries with the tap of a button.

WagerWire users are now able to buy and sell RealTime Fantasy Sports entries on the app, with more fantasy operators to be added for trading soon. WagerWire announced their integration with RealTime Fantasy in January 2024, allowing users to sell their Pick’em lineups while in progress, including during the actual game, directly on the RTFS platform. During the NFL playoffs, the marketplace saw 12% of all DFS Pick’em lineups sell on the secondary market.

“This is a paradigm shifting moment for fantasy. This launch represents a way to bring more ownership and control over their entries. For the first time, there is a way to cash in on your lineups even if they go on to lose – by selling it to a friend or on the open market. The excitement is palpable,” said WagerWire Co-Founder and CEO Zach Doctor.

The newly launched fantasy marketplace is the latest addition to the growing technology portfolio of WagerWire’s parent company Wire Industries Inc. Their app already hosts an array of marketplace tools for both sports betting and fantasy including stat tracking, account syncing, bet value graph builders and calculator, and social features that allow users to follow how their friends, influencers, or sharps are playing.

“I’ve been playing fantasy for years, but being able to sell my DFS lineups is game-changing. I’m also loving being able to buy and sell in-game and see the progress of my picks with live price suggestions. The RT marketplace in the WagerWire app takes an already great and easy-to-use experience to the next level,” said Braiden Payne, RealTime Fantasy Sports veteran user.

WagerWire was recently shortlisted for two awards at SBC North America – Rising Star of the Year and Affiliate of the Year, in addition to EGR’s Rising Star of the Year and Hashtag Sport’s Best X Presence award.
